What Is Hepatic Steatosis:
Hepatic steatosis happens when extra fat accumulates in the liver. It is basically building up fat in the liver cells that can cause severe complications especially in case of obesity, alcohol inebriation (an excessive consumption or intoxication of alcohol), or some hepatic diseases (for example type2 diabetes). Hepatic steatosis is either isolated called pure steatosis or it is linked with hepatitis. According to a Harvard health publishing journal, it now affects from 20 to 40 percent of the USA population.
Usually, people suffering from fatty liver do not experience any symptoms. It is diagnosed accidentally for the first time during an imaging study such as MRI, scanning, OR abdominal ultrasound.
Symptoms Of Hepatic Steatosis:
Some people suffering from hepatic steatosis also tend to develop other complications such as hepatic fibrosis also called liver scarring. If you develop severe hepatic fibrosis, it is known as hepatic cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis may cause symptoms such as:
- Weight loss
- Loss of appetite
- Weakness
- Fatigue
- Nosebleeds
- Itchy and yellow skin
- Yellow eyes
- Web-like clusters of blood vessels under the skin
- Stomach discomfort
- Abdominal pain
- Swelling of the legs
- Breast enlargement in men
- Irritability
Causes of Hepatic Steatosis:
Hepatic steatosis starts developing when your body produces too much fat or does not metabolize enough fat as it should. The excess fat is stored inside the hepatic cells, where it piles up and causes hepatic steatosis disease.
Factors related to hepatic steatosis are the following:
- Being overweight
- High blood sugar levels
- Insulin resistance
- Increased levels of fats (cholesterol), especially triglycerides in the blood
Some rare causes of fatty liver are:
- Sudden weight loss
- Infections
- Hepatitis C
- Side effects of some other medications e.g. methotrexate, tamoxifen, amiodarone, and valproic acid.
- Exposure to certain allergens or toxins
- Certain genes may also raise your risk of developing fatty liver.
